Hi, friend! |
If your social feeds have been unusually full of college hockey players or a cat named Princess Donut, you're not alone. This week, we're diving into two wildly different series readers can't stop talking about, plus what is (in my admittedly biased opinion) the most charming show streaming right now. I binged the entire thing in a single day, so consider this your warning. |

Dungeon Crawler Carl |
by Matt Dinniman |
Even if you’ve never played a video game and have no idea what “RPG” (role-playing game) means, you’ve probably seen people obsessing over this series. The eighth installment has just been released, but newcomers should start at the beginning. This funny, quirky saga follows a man trapped in a nightmarish game with his ex-girlfriend’s cat (the aforementioned Princess Donut), and it’s every bit as wild as it sounds. My colleague Mike said, “It’s the most fun reading experience I’ve ever had.” |

The Other Bennet Sister |
The Other Bennet Sister gives the spotlight to one of Pride and Prejudice’s most overlooked characters: Mary Bennet. Based on Janice Hadlow’s bestselling novel, the series reimagines the world through Mary’s eyes as she steps out of her sisters’ shadows and embarks on her own journey of love, independence, and self-discovery. Whether you're a longtime Austen fan or simply love a sweeping period drama, this fresh take on a classic story offers all the charm of Pride and Prejudice while telling a completely new story. Consider this your warning, though, that you may get obsessed. Proof: I binged the whole thing in one day, and my colleague Joslyn can’t stop making fan edits. Streaming now on BritBox. |
